Rick Cooper shares with us an in-box review of a new ''Frankentank'' from Dragon, the Hummel-Wespe. Dragon has used some speculation that some 10.5cm guns were mounted on spare Hummel munitions carriers to come up with the concept behind this new kit.

Ah Geez Christophe, my whole world just came crashing down!! HA HA. Okay, now explain how I missed that one? I Googled Sd Kfz 165 Hummel-Wespe and got nothing, now...wham, there you go. Looks like it might be the missing reference to prove its existence. How do we get eleven of these put together and so little photo evidence? Any one else?

Dragon can research the minutia of obscure German armor, but they still got their Jeep wrong!
